Betting Trends: The over is 40-27-1 when the Yankees are home favorites and 27-15-3 in their games vs. AL East opponents.
Schmidt and Houck are unlikely to last long in their starts, as the Yankees' starter is coming back from an injury, and the Red Sox's starter is dealing with one. Schmidt has not typically pitched six-plus innings, and the converted reliever Houck is at a career-high for innings, exceeding his previous career high by over 60 frames. These bullpens have not been reliable in the last 30 days, as Boston ranks 30th in ERA (5.82) and NY ranks 14th (3.69), as well.
With that said, I expect a competitive but high-scoring game. The Yankees are scoring 5.1 runs in the second half, and the Red Sox are averaging 5.0. With both teams still in the mix for a playoff spot, there's bound to be fireworks on Friday night between these rivals — the over is 7-1-2 in the last ten games between them!
